If your son keeps his mouth open most of the time, it may indicate that his adenoids are enlarged and partially blocking his nasal airway. Mild cases may be monitored regularly or managed with nasal steroid sprays (such as Fluticasone) or saline rinses, but significant enlargement often requires a minor surgical procedure called an adenoidectomy to remove them. Your doctor or paediatrician will decide the best approach based on the X-ray findings, your child?s symptoms, and overall health.
